The Training of Children.
The QuiUer.

The loving instruction of u mother
may seem to have been thrown away,
but it will appear after many days.
''When | was IL little child" said Il
good old man, "my mother used to bid
me kneel down beside her and place
her hand upon my head while she
prayed. Ere | was old enough to
know her worth she died, and was
left too much to my own guidance.
Like others | was inclined to evil pas
siOns, but often felt myself checked,
and as it were, drawn back by soft
hand upon my head. When young
man | travelled in foreign lands, and
was exposed to many temptations, but
when j would have yielded that same
hand was upon my head and L was
saved. | seemed to feel its pressure
as in the happy days of my infancy,
and some times there came with it IL
voice in my heart, Il voice that was
Obeyed "Oh, do not this wickednesS,
my son, nor sin against God"
With children you must mix gentle
ness with tirmnesS. ga man who is
learning to play on trumpet and Il
petted child are two very disagreeable
companions" If IL mother never has
headaches through rebuking her little
children, she shall have plenty of heart
aches when they grow up. At the
same time a mother should not hamper
her child with unnecessary, foolish re-
strictiOns. 1t is Il great mistake to
fancy that your boy is made of glass,
and to be always telling him not to do
that for fear of his breaking himself
On the principle never to give pain
unless it is to prevent Il greater pain,
you should grant every request which
is at all reasonable, and let him see
that your denial of IL thing is for his
own good, and not simply to save
trouble; but having once duly settled
thing, hold to it. Unless II child
learns from the first that his mothers
yea is yea, and her nay is nay, it will
get into the habit of whining and en-
deavoring To coax her out of her refus-
al, and her authority will soon be gone.
Happiness is the natural condition of
every normal child, and If the small
boy or giIl has a peculiar faculty for
ANY one thing It Is for selfentertain-
ment, with certain granted conditions,
of course. One of these Is physical
freedom and a few rude and simple
playthings. Agreeable occupation is
as great a necessity for children as for
adults, and beyond this nothing can
be contributed to the real happiness of
a child.
IL try so hard to make my children
happy y said mother with IL sigh one
day, in despair at her efforts. "Stop
trying" exclaimed IA practical friend
at her elbow, "and do as a neighbOr
of mine does" "And how is that 2"
she asked dOlefully. "Why, she sim

Fast-WaIking Horses.

me bTeedeTS Udzeue
"The fast walk is valuable in a pillow
horse, in a team horse and particular
ly in driving horse. Many an ami
NAL will trOt along very well until he
comes to ascending ground, when you
wish to walk up grade, when he falls
into IA slow, lazy walk that is very try
ing to the drivers patience. On the
other hand IL well trained walker will
step off briskly at the rate of four miles
an hour, and the driver feels that he
has been detained very little by letting
his horse walk up the hill. Colts
should be trained to walk fast before
there is an attempt made to improve
them in any other gait. The training
may be accomplished by commencing
your side, urging additional speed lit
tie by little, without letting the colt
break into trot, but this must not
be continued long at time, so as to
weary or tire. One or two short les
sons day will soon effect wonderful
Improvement, but after lessons will be
required to prevent a relapse.
''Some time ago, Major Hugh Il.
Brooks wrote the following which is
worthy of consideration by all con-
cerned and particularly by the direc-
tors of agricultural societies. The 'ag-
ricultural horse trot,' in which lot of
played-Out plugs not able to compete
Oh the regular course go hippOdrOming
round the country, is a thing to be dis
couraged. The walking race, with and
without loads of different weights, but
always without the whip and always
with such safeguards against fraud as
wisdom and experience may dictate,
seems worthy of adoption. Major
Brooks SAYS:
NO greater mistake is made by the
managers OF fairs than the neglect to
encourage fast walking horses, mules
and oxen. The habit of trOtting when
we drive on the road, and of moping
when we drive on the pillow, prevents
attention to the kind of lOcomOtiOn in
which farmers are principally interest
ed. Farmers about their business walk
their teams ten times as much as they
trot them; it follows that it is ten
times as important to have good
walker as a good trOtter, and yet |
spent three days at the Western New
York fair, and never heard anything
about walking. Nobody dragged up"
his horse as Il good walker, but at ev-
cry turn | heard hOrsemen say, che
can make his time inside of three min
utes;" che can go with any of 'em ;"
"he's a HambletOnian and can trOt."
If we want horses to excel in any par
ticular, they must be bred with that in
view, shaped for it, and trained for it.
Horses with the best walking action
should come to the front as stock to be
bred from. If fairs can do any service
they can call attention to such animals
and encourage their training.N

Wednesday was field day for Dako-
ia in congress. The champion territory
came royalty to the front and for one
consecutive minute held the undivided
attention of the house. A Washington
correspondent gives the following ac-
count OF the exciting scene:
Dakota again scratched her way to the
top of the legislation with which she is
weighed down to-day, and for thirty
seconds made a luminous and noisy APP
pearance on the floor of the house. Like
the proyerbial meteor she blinded the
spectators in the house and then dIsap-
peared with sulpherous smell, part OF
which emanated from Mr.. Hill beca use
he failed, and part from Mr.. Bragg, who
wes engaged in scoldiDg round!y Speak
er Pro Tenn Hatch, who had failed to
recognize him at once when he offered a
privileged report. When Blount called
up the postoffice bill, Hill yelled that he
raised the question OF consideration, an
nouncinR that his intention was to cali
up the bill to admit Dakota 10 the union
As this latter bill was on the calendar
and the former measure came over as
unfinished business, the question Of con-
sideration, which can only lie between
reasonably privileged measures, could
not be made. The only thing in order,
therefore, from Hill was to q motion to
lay aside the postoffice bill aud take up
the Dakota bill. As he could not secure
the floor to make his motion, he subsided
| as soon as the parliamentary difficulty
was explained to bim.

The first legislature of Dakota was
organized at Yankton in March, 1862
twenty years ago next month. Will
Dakota celebrate its twenty fifth ami
versary as territory by becoming a state.
Guess not, though twenty five wears is a
long time to be territory Watsrt0aou
Courier Neaos.
There is now no reason to believe that
Dakota will ever celebrate any of its
birthdays as state. 1t will never have
any stronger claims to admission than it
possesses at the present moment and it
was never farther from the recognition
of those claims than now. The old pro-
position that Dakota must help itself if
it expects to be helped must prevail be-
fore it's star can be added to the national
galaxy.

bers from the Red river valley in behalf
OF active division efforts. The project
contemplates the passage OF bill sup
Elemental to the bill pending in the
council for the submission OF the division
question. This supplemental bill will
provide for an appropriation to pay the

to meet as one body and divide, acting
Jointly or separately, as may be neces-
sary. The hnlk Of the representation
from the north comes from the Red river

are allied to the southern forces the anti

norisy. A correspondent writing Of this
project says:
Several meetings have been held, at

number of those who have not hereto

Gates OF division are enrolled in favay Of
this movement. The strongest srgu.
ment in favor Of division, it is urged, Il
the escene daily presented in both the
council and house of the seotions array

lation and preventing the passage o
